Exercise 103

In this age of internet savvy consumers, it is critical you actively create and manage your online identity to control your public image. For this exercise, you will be creating your own LinkedIn Profile (Resume) and personal landing page. You will not need to make a financial investment as the service we are going to use is free.

Spend the next 30 minutes creating your own profile/resume. If you already have a working resume, use this as a base for your profile. If you already have a LinkedIn page, update your profile so that it is current.

After scanning these lists, please consider registering your username at sites where you wish to establish an online identity. This step is optional.

Follow “Digital Life Tutorial 0.12” to create your own flavors.me personal landing page. You do not need to pay for any premium services for this exercise. Please take time with your design. We will occasionally revisit this page in future exercises to update it with new techniques that will be discussed in lecture.

Make sure to include content you post on the course website as one of your services in addition to your LinkedIn Profile page.

Part 3:

Please post a link to your personal landing page on the course website. This post must include your full name (“Grant Adams”) and your flavors.me page (http://www.flavors.me/grantadams).

You can make a link by clicking on the chain links in the wordpress editor.

You must post this to the course website by 1:50pm today.Ideally,takeascreenshotofyourPLPandsetthisasyourfeaturedimageforyourpost.

Please update your profile for the course website to include your new PLP as you homepage. Include your LinkedIn profile as another link and consider filling out the remaining links as appropriate. Remember this will help to establish your online identity.
